Lower spinal bone density prompts an investigative feature on imaging-driven links between skeletal health and later brain aging. Read to learn what this research-style article examines and why clinicians might find the imaging approach noteworthy.
Key Takeaways
- Lower baseline thoracic volumetric bone mineral density was associated with faster global cognitive decline in 2,086 MESA participants.
- Lower vBMD correlated with increased white matter hyperintensities in the corpus callosum and declining fractional anisotropy in the anterior limb of the internal capsule.
